It's Been A While...

Okay, okay... I know... it has been a while... In fact, this is my 1st post for this year! The fact is that my schedule is increasingly busy nowadays, I don't even have time to watch TV except in the mornings over breakfast! Anyway, let me just do a recap on what's been happening in my life in the past few months.

Well, firstly, the bibik we had for the past 2 years has finally gone back to her hometown in Indonesia. She came to help mommy and dadda take care of my brother, Idzhar and I 2 years ago and have been very helpful with the whole family. She wanted to extend her stay with us but her husband wanted her to go back and help their daughter at their food stall.

So since January, when she left us, Idzhar has been attending school with me at CIC. I have to tell you that he's adjusting pretty well with school life and I'm very proud of him. I'll be attending primary school next year and I hope that Idzhar will be fine being in school by himself without having me looking out for him like now.

Another exciting news is Pak Su Ami and Aunty Kynaz had a baby boy so I now have a cousin brother. That means that I have another brother to take care of too. His name is Syed Aaron Suffyan and he is such a chubby baby boy! He was born on the 30th of December so he'll be turning 1 in a few months' time.

Anyway, just wait for my next post that's coming real soon... I'm gonna tell you what happened during my birthday month. Do you remember what month it is? 

Will be back soon! Promise.  

PJ Family's 2009: 2nd Trip, Janda Baik

Yes, we just had our 2nd family trip with Dadda's family and this time we travelled to a place called Janda Baik (it means Good Divorcee).

This time around, it was only a day trip. We started early, around 7.30am and reached there at around 9am. As usual, I was a bit grumpy to wake up that early and I actually slept the whole trip. But once we arrived and I've warmed up, I was sooooo excited!

The place was so beautiful! It had a gazebo where we left our stuff and had our meals and there was a stream beside it. There were also animals like chickens, fish and even 2 lovely horses!


Auuummmcaakk! Having breakfast & goofing around!

We had breakfast once we arrived and after that, we started our games.


Let's start the 1st game already!!

The 1st game was Aunty Alma's guessing game which we won, the 2nd was Tia's blow and pop your balloon game which we also won! The 3rd game was a game by AyahDe called Zap, Zap Teng and Ayah Ngah won it while Mommy got 2nd place. After that it was our game. There were 2 teams and each teams had to divide themselves so that some had to guard their balloons while the others try to steal the opponents' balloons. It ended with a tie.


Counting the sweets for the 1st game!


Pouring the water in the bottle. Iky & Faiez..

After that, we played Ayah Ngah's game where Mommy had to carry a cup of water on her head and run across in flippers to give it to Dadda and he had to pour the water into a bottle. We didn't win that game. But we set the bar high where Auntie Alma & Uncle Farly could emulate & won the game!

Then Mama invented a game for all the kids, me included! Dadda had to fill up water in a cup and give it to me. I then will take the cup filled with water to Mommy and she will pour into a bottle. As usual, I was already tired by then and everybody knows that I don't quite like walking on grass and sand. So I did it reluctanly (crying all the way...) and protested by pouring the water on the ground in the middle of my run to Mommy! (hehe...)


Mommy's already wet.. I'm tired...


Everyone else still playing, while...

I'm having my early lunch... already exhausted! :)

The last game was Papa and Mama's. It was a traditional game called Stick Mata where one had to hit a stick so it goes up in the air and while it's up, hit it as far as they can. Dadda was on fire during this game and our team won again. Basically, we were the overall champion of the whole game! Hehe!


We are the CHAMPIONS!!

After all the games have been played, we stopped for lunch and Mommy, Dadda and the rest jumped into the stream. Dadda took me in at one point but I screamed because the water was SO cold and MOVING! (sooo unlike the swimming pool! sigh...)


With Papa at the really cold but nice river stream!

Dadda, I'm a CELEBRITY, GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!

After everyone had taken their shower and prayed, we took last snaps of photos and headed down back to each other's houses.


Are you talking to me?? (goofing around in the pick up truck!)

Look at the 2 lovely horsies!! Yup, I'm scared of them too!

Che Ah and Kak Miza came back with us so we stopped by at PJ to send them back. But Dadda was so tired and sleepy that he took a nap once we reached PJ. That night, we went out for dinner with the rest and finally went back to our place at around 10pm.

It was exhausting but truly a fun day for all of us!


What a day!! But it was AWESOME FUN!!

Check out all the pictures from Dadda's camera below;





Have a good Awal Muharram weekend everybody!

My 2nd Eid

We just celebrated Eid on the 20th of September, 2009. It was my 2nd Eid-ul-Fitri. This year, we celebrated Eid with Dadda's family in PJ first. We went to Papa and Mama's house in PJ on Friday, 2 days before Eid. At night, on the eve of Eid, we played fireworks with everyone. It was quite exciting, although I was a little afraid of the fire coming out of the 'stick'.


Mommy, I'm scared!! MOM!

On the morning of Eid, Dadda woke up early to go to the mosque for Eid prayers while Mommy and I woke up later and got ready. After prayers we had breakfast together. Mama (Dadda's mommy) made a special dish called Nasi Dagang. After breakfast, we gathered to take photos and exchanged money packets! Yes, us kids get lots and lots of money packets given by adult relatives and friends, he... he... something I look forward to everytime we go visit someone during Eid month.


The GREEN couple!


7 of us, cucu-cucu Papa & Mama!

One BIG HAPPY FAMILY!! Papa's lucky number: 1747 (next year last no will be 8)


With my lovely Mommy!


Jumping with JOY!

We then went back to Tok Mama's kampung in Rembau, Negeri Sembilan later in the afternoon on the 1st day. There we met with more relatives and I received more money packets! We drove to Muar, Johore on the 2nd day of Eid to visit Aunty Huda and her family and then headed back to Subang Jaya that night. On the 3rd day, Papa and Mama came to Subang along with the rest of the PJ clan.


Mammam with Tok Abah!


Look at my 'muncung' lips!

In Muor, with Auntie Ude's family

On the 4th day, we had to drive all the way to Kelantan (I'm not sure where it is but we took ages to get there and come back!). We were there for a wedding of Dadda's cousin. On the way back from Kelantan, we stopped over at Tia's house in Kuantan. Dadda, Mommy and I fell sick after our hectic schedules so we spent our last few days of the week resting at home.

I had a week of Eid holiday and I was back to school the week after. Recently, we had Eid celebration at school and everyone had to turn up in our traditional clothings. Naturally, I turned up in Baju Kurung. We had fun and ate lots of food. Mommy and Dadda came late so they didn't get to see all of us in our special clothes.

I can't tell you about every single thing that had happened during the Eid month because if I do, this post will go on and on and it will never stop. So, I'll just post pictures for you to see, ok? To sum it all up, I was soooo busy in the whole month of Syawal.

Looking forward to more hectic Syawals in the years to come...

August birthday celebrations & Salam Ramadan!

Every year in August, we celebrate birthdays of Pak Su (10th), Tok Abah (15th) and Mommy (17th). This year, Tok Abah's birthday fell on a Saturday. Hence, the big celebration dinner was held on that particular Saturday night.

Everytime there's a celebration dinner, we will decide on where to go. Sometimes it can be somewhere new and sometimes places that we've been to and like. This time we decided to have dinner at the PJ Hilton hotel. It was my first time there though everyone else have been there for quite a number of times before. There were supposed to be 10 of us; myself, Mommy, Dadda, Tok Abah, Tok Mama, Pak Su, Aunty Huda, Mak Lel, Aunty Ina and Aunty Min but Mak Lel and Aunty Min couldn't make it at the very last minute. We had a buffet dinner and there were quite a variety of food!


Enjoying my meals with Mommy & Dadda..

Everyone obviously enjoyed the food and had a really good time. We talked and laughed and made jokes and towards the end, presented Tok Abah with his birthday gift which Mommy and Tok Mama had bought earlier during the day. We all shared (at least the adults did...) and bought Tok Abah a new phone. Mommy said Tok Abah had a really old phone which was a classic and had existed since the middle ages (I don't know when that was!). So, now, Tok Abah has a brand new advanced handphone which he can carry everywhere and not hide behind a door whenever he answers the phone.

I was actually just recovering from viral fever so my appetite wasn't as good as always, although I did eat bits of pieces of whatever Mommy took for me. Besides that and a baby who couldn't stop crying at a table behind us which made me very uneasy, we had a blast! Pak Su got new garments from top to bottom from everyone.


One for the album!

On Sunday, we spent sometime with Mama and Papa, together with Tok Abah and Tok Mama at a hi-tea event where I had more good food! Before we headed home that night, Aunty Huda and Mak Lel gave Mommy her birthday present. They gave Mommy a new bag which she really loved and on midnight, at home, Dadda gave Mommy a present too! It was also a new phone but a different one from Tok Abah's, of course. Mommy was delighted to see the new phone that she's been eyeing on for quite sometime. We wished Mommy Happy Birthday and gave her hugs before we went off to bed.

On Monday, Mommy's birthday, she had to go to office very early in the morning. I didn't get to see her when she left but she and Dadda came back earlier than usual and we went to Subang Jaya for a swim with Tok Abah, Tok Mama and Pak Su. After that, Tok Abah treated us to a nice dinner at the restaurant we went on Mother's Day and Aunty Huda joined us.
Check out the full pictures of the awesome birthday bash we had below!

August B'Day Bash

So, to sum it all up, last weekend was a wonderful weekend filled with celebrations, presents and food!

I guess the adults are preparing for the fasting period that will start this Saturday... hehe...

Selamat Berpuasa Ramadhan Al-Mubarrak!!

Farewell MJ...

1 morning 2 weeks ago, Mommy and Dadda woke up to a sad news. Somebody named Michael Jackson had passed away while we were asleep. Apparently, Mommy said he is from a place very far away called USA and he was a famous singer. I can't imagine how far but from that day on most people I met mentioned something about this person. Mommy spent most of her time in front of the TV waiting for updated news about this person.

Since I'm always with Mommy, I ended up watching this person on TV too. I finally knew why everybody went gaga over this person. Even I enjoyed listening to his music and watching him dance in his video clips, so it's no wonder that all the adults were devastated when he died.



Mommy also said that she's sorry that I won't get to experience the greatness of the King of Pop first-hand. Looking at the way people around the world celebrates the life of MJ, I'm sure that his legacy will live on for years to come!

So, finally, on the 7th of July, 2009, on Mommy and Dadda's 2nd wedding anninversary, MJ was buried. The whole world waited and finally tuned in to watch the memorial service live on TV. I guess you can say that the whole world united to celebrate the life of the irreplaceable King of Pop!

Here's a video of me paying tribute to the legend, the modern-day Mozart, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson...
may he rest in peace.

Dadda's 30th birthday

Dadda turned 30 recently on the 2nd of July. Dadda's big day started at 12 midnight, when Mommy and I kissed and wished him 'Happy Birthday' and gave him a card. Dadda said thank you to us and thought that that was it. Suddenly, Mommy pulled a wrapped gift from under the bed and presented it to Dadda. He was delighted to find out that it was a new phone Mommy bought to replace his broken phone!


Happy 30th Birthday Dadda! Nice Samsung phone thanks to Mommy!

The next day, we went to have lunch with Dadda. I had pasta and potato salad. Mommy and Dadda had pasta too. After the meal we went to the bookstore and spent sometime there before heading home.


Hhhmmmm, dellliiccciooousss!


I'm happy to be 'mammam'-ing!

That night there was another celebration. This time it was with Tok Abah, Tok Mama, Pak Su, Aunty Huda and Mak Lel. There were shrimps, salmon, chicken, beef steak and lots of other food! I ate all the different types of food from everybody's plate! Yummy! They also ordered dessert and some people sang and wished 'Happy Birthday' to Dadda while Dadda 'boogied' on the chair! (he was asked to by those people, hehe..)

Haha! Woke up just in time for mammam time!

Dadda boogey-ing with me!


A group photo of us all!

All in all, I think Dadda had a great birthday. I know I had a great time on Dadda's birthday (from eating!).
I'm waiting for more 'mammam' sessions... yum...

Happy Father's Day...

Sunday, 21st June. Happy Father's Day Dadda, Tok Abah, Papa and all the fathers out there! This year will be Dadda's 2nd year celebrating Father's Day thanks to moi...


My Dadda is the Best!


Tok Abah and I!


Papa and I!

Anyway, this will be a short one. Just wanted to tell everyone that the post about the MAS contest I posted a few weeks ago is over and sadly, I didn't win. They invited Mommy and Dadda to a dinner where they announced the winners, though. They went without me.


Dadda & Mommy went to dinner without me!

Apart from that, my life's been going on just as normal. I have a feeling that Mommy and Dadda will be sending me to school soon, though I'm not sure when exactly. I'll tell you all about that when it happens, ok.

Meanwhile, life is good... Here's Mommy's favourite video specially for all the fathers.
